Quartz Display Services Retina Display Modes
Hey All, AFAIK there is no way to find retina display modes with Quartz Display Services right now. Why is that? Is there any workaround or different API? Right now, if I change the Display Mode of my retina display programmatically, I have to cache the original retina display mode in order to return to it, as CGDisplayCopyAllDisplayModes won’t expose them to me. Are we still waiting for a proper public API to handle these things or am I fundamentally misunderstanding something here?

Re: Quartz Display Services Retina Display Modes
I just realized that the cocoa list might not be the best place to ask this question, as it somewhat includes all available osx APIs. I’d be glad about any hints, though. Thanks.

It's not that you're misunderstanding, it's that the new capability has not been documented well. It's only listed in the headers. In /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Versions/A/Headers/CGDirectDisplay.h you'll find the declaration of kCGDisplayShowDuplicateLowResolutionModes. That's a key that can be used in the options dictionary parameter of CGDisplayCopyAllDisplayModes(). Use the value kCFBooleanTrue. There are also new functions to get the dimensions of a display mode in pixels rather than points: CGDisplayModeGetPixelWidth() and CGDisplayModeGetPixelHeight(). Without these, you may mistake a HiDPI display mode as a normal one, since its dimensions will be reported in points. For what it's worth, I found that the old, deprecated display mode APIs (e.g. CGDisplayAvailableModes()) list all of the display modes with no special flags or options.

Re: NSDatePicker : Displaying and binding to nil.
I haven’t looked at your code, but why not use a nil placeholder value when
binding? Pass an options dictionary with a key / value pair of
NSNullPlaceholderBindingOption / the value you want to use when nil to the
-bind:… method, or specify the value for the nil placeholder in the nib.
Something like:
[datePicker bind: NSValueBinding
toObject: self
withKeyPath: @“myDate
options: @{ NSNullPlaceholderBindingOption, [NSDate futureDate] }];
Hope that helps...

NSDatePicker cannot display or bind to a nil dateValue so I have put together

https://github.com/ThesaurusSoftware/TFDatePicker
Subclassing NSDatePickerCell is made difficult because NSDatePickerCell does
not call - (void)drawInteriorWithFrame:(NSRect)cellFrame inView:(NSView
*)controlView to draw its interior.
I therefore obscure the controls persistent dateValue by setting the fore and
background colours equal.
If anyone can think of a better approach I would be glad to hear it.

I think the fundamental issue is that NSDatePicker always displays a date
regardless of -dateValue or the bound value.
Using a [NSDate distantFuture] placeholder results in the NSDatePicker
displaying 01/01/4001.
In my app some dates are optional/initially empty and hence bound to nil. I
need the date picker to reflect this.
The TFDatePicker subclass observes a nil -dateValue or bound value and manages
the draw state to represent this.
The subclass also provides a popover that enables the user to reset the date
picker to nil if required.

Re: get set firewall status
It's still present on Mavericks, but the man page for ipfw reads: This utility is DEPRECATED. Please use pfctl(8) instead. Also, aside from the traditional port-based firewall, the firewall you enable/disable in the security pref pane is an application-level firewall, separate from ipfw or pf. Apple provides a command-line utility--afctl--to control that. This is the firewall represented in system_profiler output, so, check out the man page for (or use otool on) afctl.

Core Data migration and non-optional transient relationships
Hi all, Doing a Core Data migration (not the lightweight kind) I hit an error at the end: foo is a required value. the 'foo' relationship it complains about is transient and so not present in the store. Normally, I recreate the relationship in awakeFromFetch, but it doesn't seem to call that during migration. As a test I made the relationship optional, then it no longer complains. This seems to mean that transient relationships must always be optional?! At least if you ever want to migrate. That seems odd. Am I missing something here? Thanks, -- Sean McBride, B.

This sounds like something we hit in 10.9 fullscreen on secondary monitors;
we had to do this to get it to setFrame where we told it:
in NSWindow subclass:
- (NSRect)constrainFrameRect: (NSRect)frameRect
toScreen: (NSScreen *)screen
{
return frameRect;
}
thank you for this. i suppose it’s six-of-one as to which technique is
simpler —i’ll look into it.

the issue is:
i have an overlay (created programmatically w/ NSBorderlessWindowMask) at
the top of my document view; after switching to full screen setFrame
disregards my requested rect (without log emission) adjusts to a max below
the menu drop-down area. best coding practice suggests (to me) an

NSStatusWindowLevel is declared in NSWindow.h, kCGStatusWindowLevel is
declared in CGWindowLevel.h. Is it the actual numeric value of the
constant that you want?
no, the definition of a status window; i.e. what is it used for?
I would code against it, as it can easily change at any time without

No, you wouldn't want to toggleFullScreen on it - it would go off into its own space! We tweaked window levels for what seemed like good reasons in 10.7 fullscreen, and then those tweaks didn't work so well with 10.9 because Apple was using different levels for some UI parts than it had before. At WWDC, Apple advised against it. The setFrame issue might be an Apple bug which we reported but I don't have the rdar handy - it's applying the constraints as if there was a menu there, and there *is*, but it slides down as needed and should not prevent windows going into that area.

how to mumap memory from CoreGraphics?
I have an app that used a lot CoreGraphics and by using UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() and CGContextDrawImage and etc CoreGraphics founctions, these functions call mmap() and these use a lot virtual memory. The problem is when I receive low memory warning, the memory used by mmap() in virtual memory will not release automaticly, and I don't have a way to manually release them. The app crash due to the virtual memory pressure, my real RAM usage is very low. How can I manually release the mmap() memory created by CoreGraphics?

The app crash due to the virtual memory pressure, my real RAM usage is very low. How can I manually release the mmap() memory created by CoreGraphics? Thx Virtual memory will not crash you unless you reach the VM limit of 2GB. If you’ve reached that with only virtual memory then you crash due to something else trying to allocate memory and not being able to. Typically if you are drawing content however, you won’t be limited by the VM limit, but by available memory. The way to resolve that is to release the objects (images, context, etc) that you are holding on to. If you are calling UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentContext(), then you need to release those images (and ensure that any image views displaying them have their image set to nil). If this is the result of view drawing (via -drawRect: typically) then you need to release the views themselves. However it is atypical to have views consume that much memory, unless your views implementing -drawRect: are especially large, or especially numerous. -- David Duncan ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
